[This is written in a fairly neat handwriting, in a language that may look roughly similar to Arabic to those familiar with it. The paper on the bulletin board has a small note on top, with a lot of space on the rest of the page for people to fill in as needed.]

Since we're all from different worlds and cultures I think there are a few things we should probably get sorted out as a group. First thing should probably be how to address each other. Go ahead and write your name/title/what you want to be called, your gender identifier if that's important to you, and pronouns to use for you.


Kai, he/him

I am told by certain sources "in the know" that he also goes by "Nerd". The louder you yell it the more likely he will respond.

[logosmaxima]

[NO..... Sources in the know???? Whomst among his Rehahti is responsible for this!! His heart bleeds with betrayal!]

I do not condone yelling in a Library.

[He doesn't deny it.]

[curzed]

[See this just proves his sources were correct. Excellent work, Sevatar.]

Respond swiftly when called then!

[logosmaxima]

[GRUMBLING.]

Those who wish my attention also have their agency, you know.

[curzed]

I am merely offering alternatives.

[logosmaxima]

[MORE GRUMBLING.]

Yes. Of course. I will thank you on behalf of those in the Library who find two syllables more intimidating than one.

[At least none of his sons are here so he's not going to misconstrue the message of someone yelling it at him.

... grumble.]

[curzed]

I am of course delighted to be of service. I'm certain they too will be grateful! I can think of at least three.

[logosmaxima]

This would of course necessitate them using your ill-omened surname rather than your preferred nom de guerre.

[He did see that discussion up above!! Also have a pun. Ha ha.]

Consider that giving them an easy way out only encourages such intellectual laziness. We could be pushing them to new heights! Teaching them to aspire for more than words of one syllable!

[tbh he deserves the nerd moniker because he 100% means this]

[curzed]

Thanks to the ongoing efforts of our brothers, many already do.

I have no interest in teaching. I'll leave that to you.

[logosmaxima]

[Magnus is going to have a think about that. Where it gets him remains to be seen -- but "Konrad" will remain "Konrad" to him for the time being.

Anyway there's something else to bicker about.]

Do you not, with all your interest in "lessons" that need to stay learned?

[curzed]

It's infinitely better when I don't have to. But when I absolutely must, due to some individuals being astonishingly thickheaded, I will.

[logosmaxima]

[Magnus doesn't reply to this one because he is too busy tracking Konrad down for saying "nerd" one too many times.

GET GOT, STINKY BATMAN.]

[steelfeathered]

Useful and informative, thank you.

[curzed]

Glad to be of service.

[steelfeathered]

And such an efficient word. I must consider adopting it. Could you use it in a sentence?

[curzed]

The only context I was given for this particular title was, "If you yell 'Hey Nerd!' anywhere in Tizca, Magnus will respond."

[steelfeathered]

Perhaps it's one that must be earned, and doesn't properly apply to curious fools of minor standing.

[curzed]

There's an idea. Perhaps it only applies to the greatest of curious fools.

[steelfeathered]

Their champion and guiding star.

[she's wary of giving insult to someone she knows nothing about so if anyone asks: this is 100% sincere wondering okay]

[curzed]

I'm beginning to be concerned if I keep writing on this line of thought a rather ominous presence will appear behind me and take my notebook.

[steelfeathered]

As a prudent person I should therefore urge you to stop.





However,

[curzed]

And I still have my notebook!

Thus. Magnus has many laudable qualities, and would surely happily accept being the guiding star for the reckless and foolish. Indeed he likely would encourage them to even greater follies of curiosity.

AMBUSH!!!

[logosmaxima]

[The problem was it had taken Magnus longer than he anticipated to track Konrad down and begin L O O M I N G with all that extra height he has.

Hello, brother.

His baritone voice is at its deepest register when he says,]

You called for me?

2/2

[curzed]

We are discovered! Flee!

[Hisako considers for a while and gets a finer, bristlier brush with which to attempt to render clawed tracks and fine marks, as if a sparrow-sized bird somehow dipped in ink had started to run across the page and lifted off, hitting the paper with its wingtips several times.

She's not sure it's coming across. Maybe she should've just done this again. Sigh. That's art for you.]
